He is saying Israel can attack Iran, but don’t want Iran to respond, what a world we live at?😢

As yourself, if someone did that in our country what would we do?

Who is in charge? The state department? The vegetable in chief? The plant that replaced him?

[trevorsutherland]

That guy has a really difficult job. He just argued---with a straight face---that if your neighbor walks across the street and smacks you in the face, you have the right to defend yourself, but it wouldn't be "productive" for you to do so...."

Why didn't you tell this to Israel that killing someone in Iran is not in their interest

[hazelem]

Why didn’t they encourage Israel to communicate? Why didn’t America protect the Palestinians?

The Ghost of Gaza are coming. Spooky times in the land of sand.

That dork dont know s*"'it from shinola

[giuseppeverdi]

Escalation clearly serves Israels interest, as it provides context for complete annexation of Palestinian territory

[ryanb]

Iran does have the right to defend itself

[akbarshaikh]
